    About this ebook

    Market Profile Basics is an introduction to Market and Volume Profile. This book will cover, in basic terms, how to calculate a market’s profile and what it means to you as a trader.

    The market is a game of tug-of-war, where buyers and sellers are continuously looking to determine the value of the market. Buyers think it is worth more, while sellers think it is worth less. Market Profile helps uncover the result.

    Understanding the value of the market is critical to any investment decision.

    • 4/5
      I read other books on volume profile, but this is so so simple to understand, concise and concrete example. However, the value areas would not be easily understood by a first reader of volume profile. Thanks for your work and piece of advice given at the end!
    • 5/5
      The ebook is an easy and informative read. It is very much appreciated.
